I think this is what my American friends should be most concerned with right now:
Chris Murphy 🟧@ChrisMurphyCT
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Check out this @FT article by @SoumayaKeynes on the work of the new Econ Nobel laureates!
The article cites the work of our own Prof. #TimConley (@westernuSocSci ) with Prof. #MorganKelly (@EconomicsUCD) "The Standard Errors of Persistence", forthcoming in the @JIntlEcon

Incredibly disappointed by the NDP here. The Federal carbon tax and rebate is both progressive and the most efficient way to fight climate change.

@Pau_S_Pujolas Totally agree with the sentiment that #TorontoIsNotOntario, but there was also horrible flooding in London, Ontario.

Canadian zoologist Anne Innes Dagg died recently. If you ever want a story to show how pervasive raw sexism in Canadian academia was less than 50 years ago read this short autobiography she penned in 2000. anneinnisdaggfoundation.org/zoologist

@dannyegold @ItsMatt_Again I'm pro-row homes, but I can understand arguments against them. As soon as there is a shared wall, you have to have a system to govern that wall, which is not costless. Plus you expose yourself to some bad-neighbour risks e.g. water damage or pests.

What is the output cost of reducing emissions? In my JMP I show that this cost depends on how firms burn fuels.
I find that the cost of reducing emissions is much lower than we thought! The key is heterogeneity in firm-specific fuel productivity. #Steel #India #EconTwitter 1/5

Checkout @EmmanuelMurrayL impressive work on the output cost of curbing emissions.
Emmanuel is an IO economist using state-of-the-art production function estimation to understand how firms fuel choices shape their response to carbon taxes through a dynamic input choice model.

Do not miss Anastasiia's work on Human Capital!
In her JMP she shows that teachers' and mothers' perceptions about children's non-cognitive and cognitive skills are *biased*
Teachers and mothers identify more delays in neighbourhoods with *higher* skill levels!

@jihyun_econ is brilliant! Her JMP studies how firms respond to an increase in government loans.
Key takeaway: Government loans help financially constrained firms invest more, but also help unproductive firms survive when they otherwise would have exited.
Sergio Ocampo Díaz@socampdi
Check out @jihyun_econ great JMP! The Korean government increased direct loans to firms by 1pp of GDP. This increased firm investment but also allowed unproductive firms to survive. The net effect is a productivity decrease despite gov intentions. More👉sites.google.com/view/jihyun-ki…

Academics to students: Start the essay early to ensure it is of a high standard.
Academics to conference audience: Thank you for listening to my bullet points written on a napkin in the taxi.
